The nearest Canberra Metro station is on Swinden Street, just about 0.2 km away. The Dickson Interchange, another Metro hub, is approximately 0.8 km from the house.
Within a kilometre you’ll find the Dickson Library and the Dickson Centre precinct, both about 0.7 km away, as well as a cafe and vet clinic in the refurbished Downer shopping centre.
The National Hockey Centre is located roughly 0.8 km from the property, and Downer’s local oval is situated between Frencham, Melba, Bonython and Bradfield Streets, offering open space for casual sport.
Downer was gazetted in 1960 and was originally an agricultural research site for the CSIRO, even growing opium poppies during World War II. The area features historic pine and gum trees planted as wind‑breaks, some of which are being replaced with newer varieties.
The land is formed from calcareous shales of the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium – the limestone‑rich soils that gave Canberra its original name, ‘Limestone Plains.’
